Keio Santa Limited Express 2005

The Keio Santa Limited Express 2005 was an event held in collaboration between the Keio Corporation and Sanrio Puroland. It marked the 10th annual Keio Santa Limited Express event. My Melody and Kuromi were the stars of this iteration of the event, due to their growing popularity through Onegai My Melody.

Registration
To register for the event, participants had to either phone in or register in-person at the Sanrio Puroland Guest Center, with entries being closed as soon as the maximum capacity of 300 was reached. Payment would not need to be made until the day of the event. As well as the one-way ride itself, the ticket also covered Puroland admission.

Event
After arriving at Shinjuku Station, participants would board the train and depart at 10:51am. On the train, My Melody and Kuromi mascots would walk through the carriages, as Christmas music was played. The characters would shake hands with guests, with guests being able to take pictures with them on the train. When crossing paths, My Melody and Kuromi would interact, with Kuromi even hitting My Melody.

Once the train reached the Keio Tama Center Station - the closest station to Sanrio Puroland - the event would be over and guests were free to enjoy Sanrio Puroland.

Keio Santa Limited Express/Sanrio Puroland Anniversary Campaign
As the event took place at the time of both the 10th anniversary of the Keio Santa Limited Express and the 15th anniversary of Sanrio Puroland, a lottery was also held, with entry available to anyone who rode on the Keio Line to reach Sanrio Puroland from December 23, 2005 up until December 25, 2005. The main prize was a special Hello Kitty plush toy wearing a Keio Electric Railway uniform.
